> * Someone claim's they're actively making the website worse. A claim that can't be backed up. I have a few examples I can observe myself. It's not documented, so it may not be considered "backed up", but it makes me avoid Reddit as much as I can, no matter how valuable it may be 1. The mobile interface of Reddit used to have option "Ask to Open in App" (it defaulted as checked), which prompts many banner about downloading app almost every click. Right now, the option disappeared; only Dark Mode remains. 2. At some point, visiting the main page of a particular subreddit on mobile will be blocked with "This community is available in the App". Later on, Reddit claimed (or the moderator of subreddit may claim) that the topic is mature and can only be viewed by 18+ users, when the subreddit or the topic isn't really something mature (I recall seeing it in a subreddit that operates as a de facto support forum of an Android app I use) and that it forced me to download the app, even though the app is seriously sluggish, to put it mildly Sure, both of these examples may be resolved by switching to desktop mode or use the old.reddit, but doing so means I will have significant difficulty to scale the content to match the size of the small screen. For some, it may not be considered worse, but for me, the inability to read it the way it used to be means they are sabotaging it for the worse |
